The U-Boot Patch Tracking System

Note: This could also be used as a Bug Tracking System, but there
are no bugs in U-Boot, just Features™, right?
The U-Boot Patch Tracking System is based on
GNATS, the GNU Bug Tracking System:

GNU GNATS is a set of tools for tracking bugs reported by users to a central
site. It allows problem report management and communication with users via
various means. GNATS stores all the information about problem reports in its
databases and provides tools for querying, editing, and maintenance of the
databases.

Thanks to its architecture, GNATS is not bound to a single user interface - it
can be used via command line, e-mail, Emacs, or a network daemon, usually used
with a Web interface. Together with the fact that all GNATS databases and
configuration can be stored in plain text files, it allows easy use and
provides good flexibility.

The main reasons for choosing GNATS (and not, for example,
Bugzilla) were that it

allows for a seamless integration with the e-mail (mailing list) based
communication between developers which has evolved over years

is easy to configure, to use, and to extend

The following documentation is intended to summarize the information
necessary to use the U-Boot Patch Tracking System

as a normal (unprivileged) user,
for example, to report bugs or submit patches, and to check what
happened to your submissions

as an U-Boot Custodian,
for example, to follow up to a patch submission or to close an entry.
